A fantasy work on the theme of loneliness which depicts the way the memories and dreams of each person (performer) intertwine.
Without using stage design or fancy effects, the group has created a performance space where music, lighting and the dancers’ bodies intersect organically under the concept of eliminating waste as much as possible.
Although the group presents a novel-esque fantastical worldview, its ultimate focus is on the reality of the human body, its work embodying the group philosophy that the appeal of dance lies in its physical dynamism.
Name of production: Dance Project A – New Performance POTSUNEN
Performers: Takuya Sato, Rui Kajita, Rion Watley
Production staff: Yuta Kumachi (music/sound design/dramaturg), Yu Suzuki (vocals/production), Naomi Adachi (lighting), and Saki Matsumura (documentary photography and video footage)
Dance Project Å
A dance project led by Takuya Sato launched in 2022. It recruits dancers and holds performances on a per-project basis.
The group’s philosophy is the pursuit of physical strength and a solid world view in its dance works. The group’s ideal work is one where the physicality (gestures and posture) of trained dancers is imbued with emotion in a simple production stripped bare of everything wasteful or superfluous.
